SEPTEMBER 21 - Rwanda English Project
Speakers - Southtowne Rotarians Don & Deborah Steely
The Rwanda English Project has expanded from 2 schools in 2016 to 25
schools in 2023, including teacher training colleges, government offices, and rehabilitation centers. We have a staff of 6 managers, 12 coaches and 30 instructors. In 2023-24, we will be conducting several research studies to further validate the program's efficacy and scaling up to include more teacher training colleges and primary schools. In addition, we have begun working with a similar program in India that serves about 50 schools.
